I have to say, I'm very hard to impress but this physician was everything I've been looking for in an eye doctor (for YEARS). He was thorough, informative, caring, kind and knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor. I think I'm just a little shy of being his groupie! The staff were helpful and very professional. I actually enjoyed my visit. Whoever heard of such? Just got my husband to switch all of his records to this office as well. Loved it! Thanks Doc!

Dr. Garza and his staff are awesome! I called prior to my appointment because I had not yet received my insurance card in the mail and the lady on the phone was very polite, patient, and helpful. When I arrived, the staff continued to be very nice and courteous. I had to take my 5 month old with me and when I got into the exam room, she decided she was hungry right before Dr. Garza walked in. He saw that I was giving her a bottle and asked if I needed a few minutes to feed her. He gave me 10 minutes or so and came back to continue the exam with no problem. I thought it was so considerate to give me a minute to take care of my child so that we could continue with the exam without her fussing. During the exam he was very thorough, explained to the fullest degree how to best care for my eyes, and at the end suggested the most affordable option for my contact lenses. He gave me choices between options he recommended and even gave me a trial contact pair so that I can see what works best for me in my day to day life. He also took a minute to keep my daughter entertained while I was putting the contacts lenses in. Very impressed with this office and every staff member I interacted with. I will surely be back.

Dr. Garza is the best optometrist I have ever had. I'm used to offices where patients are crammed into waiting rooms, not offered an alternative to dilation of the eyes, and doctors with poor bedside manner and little explanation of anything. You won't find that here. I am very happy with my care - I am very nearsighted with astigmatism in both eyes, so sometimes the process of finding the best correction for me can be difficult, but Dr Garza and his staff are very pleasant, thoughtful, thorough, and happy to explain everything fully rather than rush you off. All of the staff, from the front desk to the shop, are very kind and helpful. I've needed significant vision correction since I was a small child, and their care is greatly appreciated.
